Expand It's already ruined and if they officially labelled lootboxes gambling, they'd face lots of consequences because they'd be breaching rules in relation to gambling industry rules such promoting it to minors.

Also, they'd have to follow the regulations that gambling industry does. Expand It's actually why it's most likely going to be easy for the to get into the actual real gambling in their games since loot boxes have laid the foundation.

Expand You're right with your comments. If they do, they've simply contradicted with the rules of gambling by introducing it to gamers below 18. Because gambling is simply an adult game and not for kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head_Hunter Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I know I do gamble, but it wouldn't still make sense, to see gaming feature gambling. Such will expose more people into risk taken especially for the underage, which is not healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head_Hunter Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I really don't know if they'll win the lawsuit when underage is given license to gamble via video game platforms. If they are caught excessive fine will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivion Knight Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I doubt we'll ever see "real" gambling on games consoles, even more so with the recent goings on in the world of Sports, and both Sony and Microsoft have always been rightly reluctant to allow and/or certify it. It feels like we already have the closest we're going to get with microtransactions for more chips, and no way of exchanging those chips back for "real" currency.

Expand For now, it's just between making use of loot boxes and microtransactions. If full time gambling would be introduced later, it's only time would tell but there is always a possibility of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
